So how addicted to Massassi are you?
2006-02-21, 12:37 AM #1
I was just curious how many of you are so addicted to Massassi, that you refresh/check the forums five times a minute, wishing that there was a bajillion new posts a second to keep you entertained. What makes it better, of course, is that no matter how bored you are or how many times you've checked the forums in the past five minutes, there are just some threads or some boards that you never bother to look at. Some threads just say "stay away" to me I guess, I dunno.

So... uh.... post your lame stories, jokes, whatever about being addicted to Massassi.

C'mon, it's 3:41am here. I'm looking at Bash and forums. Cut me some slack here. I only look at this forum anyway, because the others pretty much require you to know something about something that's not completely random.

And I stay away from any topic with "WHO LIKES [crapwich]" in the title lately.

Don't be sad, man. If no one else will admit to being addicted, you know that at least I am :)

I usually keep a window open for the forums when I'm browsing or doing work or whatever. Every now and then I'll refresh it to check new posts. I'll refresh it quite often when I'm working, actually. I get distracted easily :(

And yeah, some threads I never seem to want to click on. Weird, huh?

Well I check it once in a while everyday. Sometimes I'll check on the forums more often than others. I'm still trying to figure out how the hell I started posting back here again. :confused:

I check Massassi forums maybe 6 times a day. And then I only check out threads, which have titles that look at least a bit interesting. Many don't, so I never visit them.

I visit the forums two or three times a day for five minutes each. Not exactly addicted . . .

I'm almost as addicted to Massassi as I am to alcohol.

My morning routine after my shower involves either Irish Coffee or Bailey's, then Massassi. Lunch is a sandwich and Guinness and then some Massassi. Then a few drinks that afternoon and a few times on Massassi. Later that night, I usually pop a bottle of wine and then Massassi and then my girlfriend yells at me cause she needs it.

I check the forums a couple times a day. I don't always post, but I read or at least glance over most threads.

I post and maintain a set of characters in a thread that has no end. That alone is enough to show how addicted I am :p
2006-02-21, 8:32 AM #14
I check when ever I get a chance. Depending on what I'm doing, that can be quite often during the day. Sometimes, it's only once a day.

Hi, my name's JediKirby... and I'm totally addicted. From the time I get home to when I go to bed, I'm on massassi, refreshing every 5 minutes or so to see what's new. Granted, I'm doing SEVERAL other things, like video editing, modeling, writing, reading, telephoning business stuff, etc. And I know EXACTLY what you mean about some threads you NEVER click on. I basically have to refresh 3 or 4 times without anything interesting popping up before I click on a "don't click" thread. There's usually NO reason for not clicking, and I end up posting in it anyway.

Other times, I'll join a thread, leave it, go do something else, and post back in a few hours without reading new posts.

My massassi story is a combination of what has been posted here. I wake up. I take a shower. I check Massassi. I go to school. Do some work. I check massassi. I come home. I check Massassi. I keep a chat window of #massassi open for most of the night. I refresh every 5-10 minutes to check for new posts. I only read about 10% of the threads, and sometimes I will read an entire 3 page thread and not respond to it.

I used to have a girlfriend. I don't anymore.

Wake up, check massassi, go to school , go home, go to work, go home, check massassi, go hang out with friends, go home, go to bed.

Weekends are different though...

Wake up, check massassi, go do stuff with friends, go home, go to bed.

I managed to ignore Massassi for a few months until someone told me abouth Sith2 and JKR. I eventually found my way back to the other forums and although 90% of the threads are garbage, there are generally a few interesting ones. That 10%, as well as the Showcase Forum are what keep me here.

I'm going to be late to work right now because I had to catch up from last night. >_>

...not addicted at all.

I'm nowhere near as addicted as I used to be... I'm posting only once, maybe twice a day average anymore (assuming I do post).

I don't check every day -- I check up on massassi most days, but some times like yesterday I just don't get around to it.

And I've only posted 2 threads in the past half year....
May the mass times acceleration be with you.

"Catch up?"

my life currently exists for the sake of watching Scrubs....in the past two days alone I've done 2 1/4 seasons...

I check Massassi far, far to often...

But I usually don't have anything spectacular to say, so I lurk.

I remember the Showcase Forum's glory days. holy god, they were as active as the discussion forums are today. Man, I'm not kidding, they were exploding with activity. you literally had to post immediatly so your post made sense, because threads would make 3 pages in hours. It was insane.

Oh, check it at least 4 or 5 times a day and post maybe once a week. I'm very sporadic in my postings.

I keep the window open and refresh every so often if I'm on the pc. #Massassi every so often.

Stop being so damn compelling!
